KCMO Water Services to begin monthly billing July 1st
KCMO Water Services to begin monthly billing July 1st
Beginning July 1st, the Kansas City, Missouri Water Services Department (WSD) will begin monthly billing.
“The recent completion of ‘the WAVE’ automatic meter reading installation project has allowed the Department to begin a number of customer service enhancements, including monthly billing, “ said Mable Ramey-Moore, assistant director, Business and Support Unit.
The benefits of “the WAVE” and monthly billing include:
- allowing consumers to be able to budget more efficiently by receiving water bills each month instead of bi-monthly
- a more timely account of your water use, allowing you to be able to make adjustments as needed to avoid higher water bills, especially during the summer months
- the ability to discover service line, plumbing or irrigation system leaks sooner, allowing for prompt repairs and reducing the magnitude of a high water bill caused by leaks
- viewing of daily/monthly water use on our website at www.kcmo.org/water
Some customers may have received a bill in June that was either shorter or longer than their normal bi-monthly (60 day bill). This is necessary so WSD could adjust all customers to monthly billing cycles.
Also, some customers who already receive monthly bills may receive their bill on different days than in the past.
For more information on monthly billing, visit our website at www.kcmo.org/water.
WSD will also begin an e-billing option for customers later this summer.
E-billing is the e-mail delivery of your water bill. Your bill will be sent directly to your e-mail inbox and will look exactly like your current paper bill.
Registration for e-billing will be available on our website later this summer.
On-line payments, payments by phone, walk-in and drop off locations will continue to be available.
Following the implementation of e-billing, the Department will begin work on a leak notification program that will send an email or telephone notification to customers when “the WAVE” automatic meter reading system detects high water usage.
For more information, contact Colleen Doctorian, public information officer for the Water Services Department at (816) 513-0232.

June 22, deadline for Emergency Home Repair Program applications
June 22, deadline for Emergency Home Repair Program applications
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Housing and Community Development Department will stop taking Emergency Home Repair applications at the close of business on Tuesday, June 22. Since the availability of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the Emergency Home Repair Program was announced on May 14, the department has received 348 applications.
The Emergency Home Repair Program was allocated approximately $1 million in CDBG funds to permit approximately 185 homes to be assisted. Eligible homes will receive assistance in the order the applications were received and approved.
"The Emergency Home Repair program remains one of the City's most popular home repair programs," said City Councilwoman Sharon Sanders Brooks. "With the economy, including the unemployment rate in Kansas City, where it is, I am not surprised the applications exhausted the funding as soon as it did.”

SNAP Dollars Doubled at Some KC metro Farmers' Markets
Hello, all. some of you may already have heard about this program, but I want to encourage each and every one of you to pass the information along to people and organizations who work with low income people and communities who would benefit from affordable, fresh, locally grown food.
The Beans&Greens Program is a program that will match SNAP card (food stamp card) purchases at a pilot group of farmers’ markets in the KC Metro area. If a person charges $5.00 against their SNAP card, they will be able to buy $10.00 worth of local produce. The participating markets this year are:

South KC gets a new police station.
The old Fairyland Park grounds just got a face lift, courtesy of the Kansas City Police Department.
Residents remember the park — located at 75th Street and Prospect Ave. — for the towering steel roller coasters, but they also remember its blighted history.
Fairyland was segregated in its early years. It wasn't opened to blacks until 1964, and closed in 1977. Since then, the area — and Prospect itself — has been the site of a number of failed redevelopment projects.

City is addressing weed violations
In a continuing effort to address violations of City codes that involve tall weeds, trash, and debris the City of Kansas City, Mo. has begun abating these violations and is charging the property owner the costs associated with this action.
Since the beginning of May, the City has cleaned over 800 private properties and notified property owners of 4,258 nuisance violations. Property owners who fail to mow their grass will be cited and if they fail to correct the issue(s) the City will be forced abate the violation. Properties which are not in compliance will be mowed and cleared of all debris without additional notice.
The cost charged to the property owner, averages $400 to $500. This cost will be assessed against the property as a special tax assessment. In addition the property owner may be issued a court summons requiring them to appear in Kansas City, Mo. Municipal Court for failing to keep grass and weeds below 10 inches.
In the interest of keeping our City livable and our communities strong, the residents are encouraged to report violations to the City. Residents who wish to report a property with tall weeds or debris may contact the 3-1-1 Action Center at 311 or 816-513-1313.

Trash tags are increasing to be $2
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Public Works Department has announced the cost for Excess Trash Tags will increase from $1 to $2, effective July 1, 2010. Trash tags purchased prior to July 1 are still valid and only one is needed per excess trash bag.
Originally announced as part of the City s budget process in early spring, the rate change helps offset the cost of excess trash collection.
The City requires an Excess Trash Tag be placed on each bag of trash that exceeds the City s two bag limit. Residents wishing to reduce their reliance on Excess Trash Tags are reminded that the City s Solid Waste Division provides unlimited curbside recycling, which is an effective method for reducing the amount of trash placed curbside in trash bags.
Excess Trash Tags are available at participating Westlake Ace Hardware and Price Chopper stores.
For more information about Excess Trash Tags, where to purchase Excess Trash Tags or about recycling and the City s solid waste collection services, visit http://www.kcmo.org/trash or call the 3-1-1 Action Center at 311 or 816-513-1313.
